Great Knife at This Price
Quite surprised how nice this knife is. As a EDC, my closest comparison is my Benchmade Bugout. It’s slightly heavier than a Bugout, but still so light I don’t notice it in my pocket. The aluminum scales are smooth, with rounded edges, and they feel solid, unlike many plastic scales. They work great unless my hands are wet. Then they are a bit slick. My favorite part is the blade. Its drop point shape gives it flexibility in use. It’s made of Sandvik 14C28N, an often underrated steel that is very corrosion resistant (important when you left near a salt water shore), very tough, and easy to sharpen. No, it doesn’t hold an edge as well as some other steels, but that’s a worthwhile tradeoff for it’s strengths. My only minor complaint is the finger choil. It isn’t deep enough for me to use comfortably, as my finger is just too close to the sharpened edge. Overall, it’s a great knife at a reasonable price.
